Wild Life in Sale
Stained glass animals at Sale Town Hall in their main staircase window, join the white stone owl at Brooklands Primary School (once the feeder school to Manchester Grammar, which also has the owl as its emblem) and the black iron work lion outside the original Lloyds bank on School Road in Sale Centre. There is also a wonderful full-face owl in glass from a large villa on Moss Lane, and a stag's head in plaster on the Amblehurst Hotel, Washway Road.

Signs, Stained Glass, Sale
Sale's most special and historic
residences retain some magnificent features - but even more regular family
homes boast some beautiful stained glass. The central three panels are from
'The Homestead' on Whitehall Road, at Brooklands - once home to the Lightfoot
Family whose stained glass business is still in Sale today. A later resident
was the well known vascular surgeon Sidney S. Rose. The outer windows are from
an original house on Queens Road, Sale. And between are a century and more of
classic signage around Brooklands, Sale and Ashton-on-Mersey.
